There is quite a few that i can't remember off the top of my head since i am at work at the moment. I am slowly shifting into using more ACE2 based addons.

I finally am getting around to re-doing my Interface since TBC, and going to use strictly ACE2 addons.

I see you're a beast mastery hunter and I got a suggestion for you. Since you rely on your pets damage quite a lot, it'd be beter if you taught him damage talents instead of Cower and Prowl. The best attacks for a BM pet (a cat in your case) would be claw,bite, and of course growl. The last attack spot is mostly used for Dash, but it doesn't really matter...

Thanks for the info. Which beasts can I learn claw and bite from ?

Regarding the MAGE:

Right now I am #5 on the DPS chart in my raid, and just wanting to fine tune my play style so I am utilizing my mage to the best of my abilities.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

My specs are listed on the side. Right now I for raids, I am mainly just spamming Fireball and Scortch. Will POM up my Pyroblast from time to time. Not really using anything from the Frost tree. Also, since AM take up a lot of mana, I really don't use those much. For AOE I'm using Arcane Explosion / BW / Flame strike.

As far as PVP, I really use the same tactics above. Trying to burn down the healers or cloth wears first. I've been out of the game two months and trying to relearn the play style of the mage.

I'm a 70 undead mage that does weekly kara runs and I'm 40/21/0 spec'ed.

My armory http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/characte...r&n=Aaronmt

Side Note: Tomorrow I should have enough rep for the Stormcaller [Thrallmar]

My rotation involves Scortch x 5, Trinket, Fireball (repeated), Top off scortch again, Fireblast.

For PVP you will want to go frost as you have more survivability options and more toys to play with as frost for controlling your enemies.

Yes, I love frost for Ice Lance. You can root them with Frost Nova then Ice Lance them, usually critting them like mad. :heart:

Yeah Frost FTW, however upon reactivating ive rerolled as a Warlock. I dunno the mage just wasnt doing it for me, plus not having played for 7 odd months my gear was more obsolete than WindowsME...

Whilst there could be other factors at play im enjoying levelling a lock, pets/demons are fun to have plus seems to make grinding alot easier particularly with a high hps pet.

Yeah before I started my mage, I leveled up to 46 on a warlock - for some reason it didn't do it for me so I started a mage (this was before any of the class revamps, so this was when locks used to suck big time). But one thing I do miss about locks is you can grind so fast with you and your pet.

What I usually use for my hunter. Pet wise.

Thank you both. My pet learned claw and dash. It's great! :D Now I just have to find a beast with Bite (Rank 7).

Spec'd arcane ATM for Tempest Keep / SCC.

Come next patch, you can clearcast per arcane bolt from arcane missles, meaning, Arcane will be a heck of a lot more mana efficient for 25-mans.

Also, my guild is looking for good shadow priests >_> <_< http://beam.to/bloodsky *cough*pleasehaveatleastfullepicsfromkaraortailoring*cough*

12 straight hours of gameplay, and I got a level 20 shaman to show for it.

Opened up my copy of Brain's guide and decided to roll a Dranie shaman. I have to say this guide so far is kicking some major ass. A friend of mine level's all his toons according to it, and seeing how his toons level quickly, something tells me the rest of the guide will also work out great. 20 levels in 12 hours is a personal best by a long shot, and I thought before using Brian's guide I was quick at leveling. :) Hoping to have this shaman to 70 by the end of September.

Thats pretty good Slane.

I find levelling alot quicker after previously playing it since you know where everything is however, not wasting time going backwards and forwards is the biggest tip anyone can take, especially when you dont have a mount. Plus knowing which quests are just a waste of your time helps.

Woot, I am level 68 on my mage now. I've started doing Shadoweave tailoring and boy... 96 hour cooldown on Shadow Cloth. The only good thing is you get 2 cloths for the mats of 1, and a 60 min buff that gives you 25 stam. But some of the items I want to make take like 8 cloth ... lol.

Best thing to do then (if you didn't already figure this out) is to craft the other two types of cloth and trade them for a piece of shadoweave each. Since the cooldown timers aren't shared, this makes getting the needed Shadoweave a bit easier.

As part of my exploring I decided to check out the region East of Scarlet Monastary that is North of WPL. I didnt actaully get to the region itself as to do that I had to jump down quite a bit(which I did and I died). Next time I'll bring a noggonfogger elixr with me =D

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Module Blocked - Is this Okay?

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
